Ecoramic Pots Recipe ~ Green Bean Soup

This is an easy Chinese soup dessert that is cooling and sweet, which is suitable for the perpetual hot weather in Singapore. Green beans aka ‘mung beans’ are considered by Chinese as a ‘cooling’ food, and some believe it is a good natural alternative home remedy for acne. I just love boiling this because it is so low price, easy and tasty. Some love the look and texture of sago but this is optional. Tips: "Green bean soup is cooling, while red bean soup is 'heaty' food".

Method1. In Ecoramicpot, add green beans, 2 litres water, dried orange peel and pandan leaves. Bring to a boil.2. Once water boiling, add green beans. Top up with hot water at any time if necessary.3. To speed up cooking of green bean soup, place a porcelain spoon in the pot to cook together with the green beans.4. Stir in rock sugar (to taste) until the sugar is dissolved. Discard orange peel slices and pandan leaves. 5. Serve warmed or chilled.
